Hello All, 

Ok , I am about to loose my mind... this list is my last option i think  :) 

this is what i have tried : 
system("convert -pen black -draw 'text 120,60 YourText Here'  imageA.jpg imageB.jpg");
The above does not work , the most i can get it imageA.jpg Becomes imageB.jpg but the 
text does not get drawn

I striped the slashes, this does not work either, i su - to what my webserver runs on 
to see if i can run the system command 
via console, it works just fine , so i tried : 

$a = escapeshellcmd('-pen black -draw');
$b = escapeshellarg('text 120,20  YourTextHere);
$c = escapeshellcmd("test.jpg doggy.jpg");
system("convert $a $b $c");

Same as the above, imageA becomes imageB and thats it. Permissions for testing are 
-rwxrwxrwx 

a basic test with system("convert -scale 500x600" imageA.jpg imageB.jpg"); = Works 
Perfect

I am sorry for coming to the list for help , but i am at a final loss, i have also 
tried shell_exec and exec to clear anything up. I have hit the imagemagick mail list 
and i got  "Php Might have some issues" so if anyone can lend a hand to get that 
system command to work , i would be most appreciative.

Best Wishes
Rick Wilson
